Proposed trade sends De’Aaron Fox to Pelicans for Trey Murphy and Dejounte Murray
Summary

A trade proposal involving the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans suggests moving De’Aaron Fox to New Orleans in exchange for Trey Murphy III and Dejounte Murray. The deal includes several draft assets, specifically a 2027 first-round pick from the Atlanta Hawks, a 2028 first-round swap from the Boston Celtics, a 2030 Spurs first-round pick, and various secondary draft capital. For the Spurs, the shift aims to provide more playing time for younger guards Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper while acquiring a perimeter shooter in Murphy. Dejounte Murray would return to the Spurs as a secondary playmaker. Meanwhile, the Pelicans would gain an All-Star veteran in Fox to anchor their backcourt alongside Luke Kornet. The proposal remains speculative as the Pelicans have historically resisted moving Murphy in trade discussions.
